You’ll begin your journey with the installation and configuration of the RabbitMQ server, while also being given specific details pertaining to the subject. Next, you’ll study the major problems that our server faces, including scalability and high availability, and try to get the solutions for both of these issues by using the RabbitMQ mechanisms. Following on from this, you’ll get to design and develop your own plugins using the Erlang language and RabbitMQ’s internal API.

Celery


Celery is a Distributed Task Queue. What this means is that in the context of RabbitMQ and AMQP, it takes the entire AMQP model and shapes it; it folds only the best ideas from it into providing a world-class, production-grade background queue library for you to use.

Celery allows for swappable backends, and one of them is RabbitMQ, which we'll explore here.

Celery is mind-numbingly used almost everywhere in nearly every Python-based company or start-up to do background jobs; it's also used in big corporations, such as Mozilla; see more information at: https://github.com/celery/celery/wiki#companieswebsites-using-celery.

$ pip install celery

Then, let's make sure we have a working installation by verifying with a simple client:

from celery import Celery

app = Celery('pages_celery', broker='amqp://guest@localhost...
